The World Of Game Systems
Chapter 2 - New Friends

*Bel break reads.

The waiting time has come, it feels a relief. So what am I supposed to do now? It seems like the best option is to buy some lunch in the cafeteria.

'In the meantime, how's Taka doing?'

The question was suddenly tucked into my brain.

I looked towards her seat, but she had disappeared somewhere. Who cares? I better get to the cafeteria before it runs out.

'Ah, I remember. He went to the bathroom earlier before taking a break, but why hasn't he come back yet?'

After getting out of the classroom, I saw Taka walking down the hallway. I don't know exactly where and what he's been doing, but it looks like he's carrying some plastic bags with lots of food and snacks inside.

'What did he do? So Glassy? (Note for helpers without reward.) But why would he want to be so. There are several possibilities that he did this, such as being told by people in higher positions such as teachers and chairmen of the osis. It could also be that he was forced by the school thugs, no no! Where there's such a thing here.'

'There's also a possibility that he was told by his girlfriend, ah yes…. That makes more sense. But wait, her boyfriend isn't the Junior High school student I saw this morning? Nah! There is also a possibility that he has another mistress at this school. Not impossible, he's a popular boy, what he can't do with all those advantages.'

My inner reflex says all the possibilities spontaneously thought out.

“It turns out you are Aoi! Exactly right! Uh, why do you dream here!”

Taka was right in front of me and he spoke a little loudly.

'Ah, shit I've been thinking about other people for too long who have nothing to do with me. Unconscious of my surroundings.'

“I-iya Sorry, I was just thinking what you were carrying that much food.”

“Oh...ini! Nih, let's go back to class, Yogairu is waiting.”

Whatisthis? Everything contains food and snacks. The yogiru? Who her? This has been entrusted to me anyway. I don't want to have to follow him. Inconveniencing.

When he entered the classroom, someone spoke to Taka.

“Only this? What did you do before the break?”

“Basic, some are brought by Aoi, look!”

So before the break he went to the cafeteria on the grounds to the bathroom. He made excuses out of class just to buy all this food? I can hardly believe that.

“Mantap! Uh, Aoi?....Rarely! Nah! Almost never at all,”

The person who had previously spoken to Taka, started talking to me. He was a little surprised to see me and had a glance at my seat.

I don't know who he is, but it seems very close to Taka. He's very energetic, isn't he? It must be troublesome to have a friend like him.

“Ti-no I just brought Hoshizora-san.” Ungkapku stammered.

“So so the story goes. Uh, you're Taka's maid? What has he done to you?” Yogairu's task was to approve and understand my strange speech.

“Helper? your brain is thinking! Fuck up! What's wrong with being friends with classmates? Moreover don't call me by the surname, it looks like a girl's name. Embarrassment!”

Taka snapped a little while giving me a water bottle and turned his back to me when he forbade mentioning it by his surname.

I wonder why Taka doesn't want people to call him by his surname. Indeed “Hoshizora” has an impression for women but what is the problem? That's none of my business either.

“Ah, Sorry, I didn't know about it.” I said.

“By the way introduce, Kineku Yogairu. He's no different than you, just a game maniac.” Clearly Taka, it seemed like he had forgotten about the incident a few seconds earlier.

“Ha? Maniac games? You don't see yourself fucking?” Yogairu.

“The fact is so! At least I have other activities besides playing Ecchi games like you.”

“Your head is full of Ecchi stuff! if so, it means you too. Not that last night you played with me. Stupid!”

It's very noisy, really. I don't know if they're joking or not, but this proves that they're close friends. It'd better be stopped soon, I don't want the others to be distracted because of the two of them.

“Ka – you guys play what game is it?” I asked them to interrupt their discussion.

[[Huh?]

At once they immediately turned their eyes to me, but not long after that small debate even more burning.

“Listen well, this is all because of you Baka Zora!”

“What? You who can't accept the facts, you fool! Basic, Yoga KinEcchi!”

No, this only worsened the situation. It has to stop now, I don't want them to say anything stranger.

I looked at the food of the two of them.

“Eh, you don't want to? This is all I eat huh?”

I quickly picked up the food on their table.

“Tu – wait, my part! As you yourself.” Kineku.

“You're not enough? I haven't eaten part of it yet.” Taka.

“Nih, break time is running out. If you guys keep arguing, the bell doesn't wait for you guys to finish.”

Basic, finally calm down too. It's kind of tired me out, lucky that only a few kids are in class and don't catch their attention. But actually I was also curious about the game that Taka and Kineku played, it seemed interesting.

“Anu – to be honest, I was curious about the game you guys talked about earlier.”

[[Uhuk! Ha?]

The two of them choked together, I think my question is weird?

“Bu-I don't mean that, I'm not interested in his Ecchi thing. But curious how the game.” My welcome is a little broken.

“No, I was just kidding.”

“You're interested in that? Don't be shy – shy, besides we are also fellow men. Isn't that Baka?”

Not yet had time to finish his sentence, Yogairu interrupted Taka.

“What do you say KinEcchi! Brain bawdy! It's just the game Shadow of Light mobile version.” Taka Pungkas.

“Otak you ya perverted fool! Who has – Simp with Vyolen, Ha?!”

'Geez they fought again, really can not get along.'

It turns out that the two of them play is a new PC MOBA game released globally on mobile. I'm tired of Shadow of Light, even more so I'm already at the highest level. So I started playing that game very rarely.

“-ha? What did you say! It's not you who did that!”

“Whatever can say honestly, basic!”

Until when did this stop, they were both making fun of each other - the banter was endless. I don't want to interfere anymore, I need to move out of here immediately.

As I tidied up my food wrapper and prepared to leave the two of them, the sound of the bell rang. The break is over, I am grateful if this is even longer, whether I can survive or not.

The behavior of the two of them was very different from that of the break hours, it was like they had multiple personalities. Frighteningly.

......................

When I got home, Taka came up to me and started talking to me.

“Aoi, stop by the canteen first! They taught me to play that game.

Oh, aye. I forgot to have received his invitation yesterday, this must have been troublesome. I need to find a reason to reject it.

*First opportunity.

“Eh, don't you have any club activities?” Refuse soft.

“Ah…. About that, I've been skipping a lot these days. So don't think about it.”

Shit, this way I can't refuse it.

*Second opportunity.

“But my phone battery is running out.”

“It's okay! I brought Charger and mini powerbank, how about? Effectively?”

Just sit back, how else. It seems like today is a tiring day.

“Alright fine. Let's go.”

“Come – Come! I'll bring one more person in a moment.”

Taka ran to Yogairu's seat, he seemed to be asleep.

*Plak!

“Woy KinEcchi! Until when you sleep, fool! Let's play a game, damn it!”

Taka hit Kineku who was sleeping hard while shouting to wake him up. I do not understand, what is it called ‘saabat’? So ruthless.

“Can't! Hurry along! Later katsu chicken rice runs out in the female student wholesale.”

“There's katsu today in the canteen? Come on quick fuck!”

“Aoi! Come!”

What did I just see? Kineku was immediately excited to hear the chicken katsu and their noisy prowess instantly subsided. It is exhausting to be friends with such a Brutal person.

They run so fast, I can't keep up. No, it was me who never ran. It consumes too much energy.

Arriving at the cafeteria, I saw Taka and Kineku eating at the corner table. The two of them were there probably because it was the closest place to the charger plug, Taka must have remembered what I said earlier.

I was also curious about the katsu chicken rice that the two of them were talking about, so I went first to order it.

“Mother, 1 pack of katsu chicken rice yes!” My love to the guard's mother at one of the stalls.

“Aduh, sorry yes just last 4 packages taken by 2 kids it.”

The mother of the canteen pointed towards Taka and Yogairu who were eating voraciously.

I guess it must be like this, their base is very greedy.

“Oh, yes ma'am. Then I order iced chocolate drinks only.”

“Siap....”.

After ordering a drink I went to where the two of them were. When I approached them, they were both playing MOBA games.

Hey, didn't you guys eat? So fast! And before you invited me to play the game Rythme, but what you play is a Shadow of Light game with one Match long enough.

“I came, sorry late.”

No response from the two of them, how focused are you guys?

“I'm coming! Sorry late!”

I screamed a little while putting my drink down loudly. This time there was a reaction, then Taka looked at me. He immediately focused on continuing the game.

Kineku, this kid has no reaction at all. Why didn't he use that concentration during the lesson? Judging from his eye bags maybe he was sleep-deprived because he often stayed up late, therefore Kineku always sleeps during lessons.

It looks like they will continue the game, so I waited for a while while playing my own game.

About 20 minutes passed, I saw the clock was already 15:40. It was already afternoon.

They both look almost done playing. I know from their very focused way of playing, and of course I'm tired of that game.

“You made a stupid old fool! Just finish what it's so hard damn!” Sahut Taka, an annoyed expression staring at Yogairu.

“Unfortunately you never did, Baka Zora!”

“Liat situation, stupid! Not kasian with Aoi playing games by herself?”

The game is over, but they still blame it.

“It's been you two, a lot of students here. You guys are too noisy.” I intend to break them up.

With ease Taka returned to normal, and recalled our original purpose here.

“Oh yes! Teach me to play your rhythm game.”

“I'm not very good at teaching, so I just show you how I play and a little tips.” I opened the game app.

Taka looked at me seriously, I just explained about Tap note, Slide note, Long note it's just basic and it's definitely there's a tutorial in any game. I feel bad about Taka, I feel bad about Taka, but this is all I can do.

*Stage Clear!

“Wahh cool Aoi! Your concentration is incredible! All perfect! It was like a real song contest! Great!” Praise Taka, whether it's a lie or not. But those eyes of astonishment were a little disturbing.

“Cih, it's a game just push the button as per the song, what's the difficulty?” On the other hand, Yogairu seems to underestimate the game Rythme

“You want to try it, Kineku?”

Kineku was a little underestimating Rythme's game, I let him play for a while. I was a little annoyed from earlier, so I gave it a slightly difficult Stage.

“Nih, this is a normal difficulty, beginners can definitely.” I gave you a cell phone.

“Ha? You underestimate a Fasthand player like me.”

Kineku started the game, he looked confident.

[miss, lost, bad]

Whatisit? Where's all his confidence? Even squeezing it exactly never once. I feel guilty, Taka keeps making fun of his – tease.

“Stupid, stupid, stupid where your finger power is stupid!” Taka Eject.

*Failed Stage……

“Cih... shit..”.

“Stupid, stupid here I tried.”

Taka took my – Smartphone and started the game right away.

His hand trembled a little, I'm not sure he could finish it. I feel sorry for Taka if Kineku makes fun of him. I don't want them to make any more noise.

[Perfect, Perfect, Combo!]

It seems like Taka has natural talent, once tried he has gone a little smoothly. I'm a little relieved.

*Stage Clear!

“Yosh I can, Stupid Yoga, Stupid KinEcchi!” Her lips stick out their tongues on Yogairu.

“Huh, it's just your luck, the Stage is easier than ever.”

If it is called luck in my opinion is not it, when I first tried this Stage I almost repeated it 4 times. But not for Taka, he was almost Full Combo in the first try. Very impressive.

“All right, it's getting dark. We'd better get home.” soon Ask me, honestly I don't care if I come home late. But with them this...

“Come! I want to go home soon, meng – install Rythme game and play it straight away!”

“Yes, I'm fed up with Taka's talk...”

They both agreed, for different reasons.

We finally got ready and walked out of the school, Yogairu house towards the south while my house and Taka house turned one way.

Before parting at the intersection, Yogairu spoke to me.

“Aoi, call me Yogairu only! Simpler, right?”

“Good Yoga – san.”

Yoga running while screaming ‘goodbye’ to both of us.

Today was fun, it was different from the day before. I feel a good rhythm. Although it is very tiring but everything does not feel because of the behavior of the two of them, I have to thank Taka for inviting me.

“Acturnal skyview is very beautiful isn't it?” Sahut Taka, crossing his arms to lean while enjoying the beautiful sky.

“Really! There is nothing better than seeing Sunset.”

“Oh, yes Aoi. What if it's a weekend night, you come to my house? We take Yoga as well, we spend a whole night playing the game!”

Taka took me to his house? Looks exclaiming. I also grew tired of my life spending time playing alone.

“Tuesday tomorrow huh? May I also have a lot of free time.” My words agree.

“It's decided! Yosh, well I'll prepare it.”

Taka seems very happy, I feel so too. Maybe from today onwards my Ritme will change.

......................

When I was in front of the Minimarket I saw the girl who was walking with Taka this morning was opening the door and came out while carrying a bag that looked to contain vegetables.

“Ah…. Asteria – chan is a coincidence. Oh yeah, today it's your turn to make dinner huh?” Sapa Taka, both eyes were very focused on the girl.

“Ta-Kyun?”

The girl ran towards Taka and directly hugged him.

“Welcome Ta-Kyun! Why are you late to come home today.”

Any dinner? Late home? what is it, they're both one house? I don't know anymore. Taka, he's very difficult to understand.

Seriate.......
